Artist Opinion: We The Living
We The Living shares their albums of the decade.
Matt Holmen
Manchester
Orchestra – Mean Everything to Nothing - These songs revived my passion for the album as an art form. Every
track is incredible, and even those that aren't as polished are instrumental to
the album as a whole.
Copeland - Eat, Sleep, Repeat - This album has some of my favorite
sounds on any recording, ever. That, paired with some of the most honest,
emotional storytelling of the decade makes for one hell of an album.
Brian Holl
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago - This album reminded me that music of
simple technicalities, both from the perspective of recording and songwriting,
can hold so much weight. It is a consistent purveyor of pure emotion in my
iPod.
John Paul Roney
Coldplay - Rush of Blood to the Head - An album that took a sound I was in
love with and perfected it. When I listened to Rush of Blood it made me feel like there was a decade of great
music coming.
Benjamin Schaefer
Sufjan Stevens - lIlinois - Sufjan uses your heart as his
instrument. It is as if the music he creates has always existed because he
expresses universal human emotions, the emotions intrinsic to us all. He does
not write about emotion, his songs are emotion.
